Air Suspension Dump Control (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Hendrickson HAS
-
Series single
axle air suspension, you may have this
control. The air suspension dump control allows the
operator to lower the deck height approximately
4.5 inches (11.5 cm) from the normal frame height.
The light in the switch will be illuminated whenever the
switch is in the "dumped" position.
The switch to deflate and
inflate the air suspension is
located on the upper left
side of the instrument panel
above the driver's side vent.
Automatic Transmission Operation
We build vehicles with four, five and six
automatic transmissions. This part of the manual covers
the basics of these. With some of the transmissions, you
will find another manual in your vehicle that goes into
more detail. On the ceiling, in front of and above the
driver, or in some other place near the driver, you will
see a label that describes important operating facts about
the automatic transmission in your vehicle. Make sure
you follow the instructions on this label.
You may have a PARK (P) position for your shift lever.
This position locks your rear wheels. It is the best
position to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can't move easily.
All vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions
can be started in PARK (P), if equipped, or in
NEUTRAL (N). When you shift out of NEUTRAL (N),
you may have to hold in a push button on the shift lever
or lift up on a release handle as you shift. See the
Allison Automatic Transmission Operator's Manual in
your vehicle for more information about this.
